The new GeForce 180.42 BETA drivers can be installed on GeForce 200-series, 9-series, and 8800-series of desktop GPUs. Nvidia reccomends installing the drives "for the best experience" on Ubisoft's on Far Cry 2 game.

Yesterday, AMD has also released a driver (hotfix) for the same game title, Far Cry 2. The hotfix applies to graphics cards from the Radeon X1600 series to the Radeon HD 4800 series, and according to AMD, its purpose is to improve performance. The hotfix improves Far Cry 2 performance for all card setups in DirectX 10 mode, AMD says, but only users with CrossFire multi-GPU configs will see frame rates rise in DirectX 9 mode.
